self-control

Self-control is essential to happiness and usefullness.It is the master of all the virtues and has it's root in self-respect.Let a man yeiled to his impules and passions ,and from that moment he gives up his moral freemdom.It is the self-dicipline of a man that enables him to pursue sucess with suprior diligence and sobriety.Many of the great characters in history illustrates this trait.In order life the application is the same.He who would lead must first camand himself.The time of the test is when everybody is excited or angry the well-balanced mind comes to the front.

There is a very special demand for the cultivation of his trait at present.The young man who rush into the business with no good education or drill will do poor and feverish work.Endurance is a much better test of character than act of heroism.A fair amount of self-examination is good.seli-knowledge is a preface to self-control.Too self-inspection leads to morbidness,too little conducts to careless and hasty action.There are two things which will surely strengthen our self-control.One is attention to conscience;the other is a spirit of good will.The man who would succeed in any great undertaking nust be disciplined and drilled they quickly abd cheerfully oney the will.
